Abstract
A battery powered welding system is provided. In one welding system a battery powered welder includes control circuitry configured to control a welding power output converted from power from an external battery power source. The battery powered welder also includes a wire drive assembly coupled to the control circuitry and configured to feed a welding wire using power from the external battery power source. The battery powered welder includes a case integrally supporting and enclosing the control circuitry and the wire drive assembly. The case is not configured to enclose the external battery power source.

A battery powered welder comprising:
- control circuitry configured to control a welding power output converted from power from an external battery power source;
- a wire drive assembly coupled to the control circuitry and configured to feed a welding wire using power from the external battery power source;
- and
- a case integrally supporting and enclosing the control circuitry and the wire drive assembly, wherein the case is not configured to enclose the external battery power source.
A battery powered welding system comprising:
- a case comprising a storage area configured to support and enclose the welding system;
- a MIG torch for performing a welding operation;
- control circuitry configured to control a welding power output converted from power from an external battery power source;
- and
- a wire drive assembly coupled to the control circuitry and configured to feed a welding wire using power from the external battery power source;
- wherein the case is not configured to enclose the external battery power source.
An externally powered welder comprising:
- a welding power converter configured to receive power from an external power source;
- a weld output controller configured to control welding power output of the welding power converter;
- and
- a wire drive controller configured to control a wire drive assembly;
- wherein the welding power converter, the weld output controller, and the wire drive controller are configured to be installed in an externally powered welder housing and the housing is not configured to enclose the external power source.
